Emerging Simulation Challenge: An Approach to Simulate of Sustainable Development of Higher Education Institutions

Despite importance higher education institution sustainable development paradigm and many publications in this area, there are at least two real problems that are restricted successful implementation of this paradigm: a) complexity the subject domain and b) lack of a methodological base to reuse some interesting already created models together with future models. This paper introduces an approach to reduce the subject domain complexity by substituting it with a set of abstract infrastructure formalized systems. Within this approach, the models' reusability problem can be reduced by using a simulation umbrella as a united methodological base of the paradigm implementation. To Illustrate how the proposed approach works the paper includes a simulation case-study associated with a USA young fast-growing higher education institution.
